Hey everyone! It's been a great week here at the mtc! Im super excited for the days to come. The field is approaching and boy am I excited! A teacher that came for a day to sub for our other teacher went to the Anaheim cali mission and it was so cool to ask her questions! My companion and I are teaching someone named rebekah. She is awesome! I really love teaching even though most of the time the people we teach are already members. It's great practice and you can still feel the spirit so strong. Also this last Sunday the missionaries had a once in a life time experience. The mission presidents from around the world came to train here at the mtc. Well guess who trains them!? The quorum of the twelve apostles! The spirit was so special for the couple days they presided on campus. I saw elder Holland walk out of a building and he waved an smiled at us:) he was in a hurry though and we are not aloud to approach them!  On Sunday we had a very special opportunity. I joined the choir here as well as 900 other missionaries! Haha so pretty much 80 percent of us. Our devotional was amazing. The whole 12 was there. We sang to them Jesus once of humble birth. How special it was to stand as a witness of 900 missionaries in front of the men that called us to the work through the inspiration of god. The spirit was stronger than I ever felt before. So many missionaries and prophets all in the same room. I felt invincible. I know I am not, but as a soldier in Zion on the front lines against the adversary I knew with the help of god I can do anything. As the apostles stood up to leave all 1200 of us stood and waved as they waved back! I cried slot haha. The most amazing part was without any direction or planning all the missionaries began to sing called to serve all at the same time. It was powerful. I still get the chills thinking about it. I love this gospel. It is true!! There is no other way we will fulfill our purpose unless we fallow our savior and become like him to the best of our abilities! I love you all family and friends. May God be with you and bless you.
